Quote for Today

“Standing fast in the Lord” constitutes a stance and a commitment. A stance, in that one must maintain Biblical inerrancy (against all the intrusions, like the ones discussed in the previous chapters). It is also a commitment, in that one must maintain an “in the Lord” relationship. (It is one thing to cling to doctrinal purity and quite another to hear and do the will of God.)”
– C.R. Oliver

Quote for Today

“Paul emptied his soul and spirit in a flood of passion, ripping aside any self-aggrandizement and revealing his inner person as he stood spiritually naked before God and man. Rare are these occasions among modern churchmen. His self-appraisal was not a review of his achievements, but of sincere revelation of his goal in life.”
– C.R. Oliver

Quote for Today

“The hand of the Lord is not just a feeling; it is an anointing of power beyond the senses reach. Definite in touch, it demands attention even to the blotting out of all other considerations. His hand reassures, transmits confidence and gently directs focus. By His hand, one enters the “God realm of reality on an eternal scale.” It silences the noise of the world and causes one to step into the sovereign reign of heaven”
C.R. Oliver from his new book – “Exact Ezekiel“

Quote for Today

“Colosse was an ancient trade center located 100 miles east of Ephesus and just a few miles from Laodicea and Hierapolis. Epaphras was the founder of the church and informed Paul of their great love when he visited Paul and sought to minister to him while he was in chains. Already, the cross winds of heresy had made their way into this young church, and Paul’s intent was to purify the body and re-align it back to the basic things of the gospel. Paul ministered through this epistle by revelation from the Holy Spirit (something desperately needed in the church today). Ministry by revelation allows vision into the lives of people, while wiping away the subterfuge of façades. Jesus ministered in this fashion (knowing the thoughts of others and seeing their life patterns and sins). Paul had never been to Colosse when he addressed them, but by the Spirit, he literally entered their fellowship with pinpoint accuracy. Men of God, in the past, have ministered this way (calling out error or happenings in people’s lives which were privy only to them). Ministry by revelation cancels the need for counseling. (C.G. Bevington was a perfect example).”

The Crisis of Today brings the Apostolic and the Prophetic ministrations to the forefront as the Spirit of God brings the “plumb-line” back to the Church.

“Rise, and measure the temple of God,and the altar, and them that worship therein”
Revelation 11:1

Quote for Today

“Where are the churches where the river flows today? Where are the pastors who preach from the over flowing waters? Where are the prophets who have abandoned their plans and swim in the river? Congregations are not dying for the food of the word, as much as they suffer dehydration for the lack of the water of life!!!!”
